SeonHee or "Sunny" is a petite Jindo girl that is being fostered by Jin-Sohl Jindo Dog Rescue, located in Southern California.   

Sunny is a sesame/grey female who currently weighs 28 lbs and is about 20 inches at the shoulder.  We estimate her to be 10 months and so she may gain a few more pounds at maturity.   Because of her lightly built head and frame, it is also possible that she may be a Jindo-Shiba mix.  She was picked up by the Orange County shelter as a stray and was unfortunately tucked away from the public due to space issues.  Once tucked away, she was presumed to be an aggressive dog when that was not the case at all.  She became labeled so that only a rescue could save her from the shelter. 

Sunny was pulled from the shelter in late November, and after evaluation by two foster homes, she has never displayed any worrisome behaviors.  She is a model Jindo.  We suspect that she was an indoor dog in her previous life.   She is house-trained and seems to know house manners. 

She is happy to see and greet introduced people, but she will bark at abnormal activity as a Jindo should.

She is fine with handling all over her body and being picked up.    Recent nail-clippings and baths were surprisingly uneventful.

Though untrained, she is very easy to walk on-leash.  She knows "sit" and is waiting for a permanent home to teach her other commands. 

She prefers exercise-pens as a means of confinement but she is also fine with staying in a crate if she is guided there, especially if there are chews inside. 

She has been with other dogs in her foster homes and has been okay with them as long she has not claimed any food or bones on the ground.  It seems that she used to bury bones in her crate and so she will occassionally give a "snark" to a nearby dog while in her crate even if she has no food or bones.  She is not possessive when a person is doling out small treats to multiple dogs, and she has not shown any food possessiveness against people. 

Treats?

Sunny has a bright gleeful personality and it is a joy to just watch her run around the fenced yard.   She loves playing with squeak toys and will take turns sharing them with other dogs in the home.

She will also do some gentle chasing and wrestling with the other dogs in the home.  With her close dog friends, she runs, leaps, and paws while playing tag.

Turning on a dime during play

She has not shown any interest in jumping the fence or digging under the fence to escape, but she will dig out of boredom in her outdoor kennel.   She is very fast and agile and so precautions would need to taken to ensure she does not door-bolt through gates and doors. 
 
 

Sunny spotting some birds/  In prey mode

She has strong prey drive towards small wild birds but she has been content to just watch fenced poultry that is on the property.  Chances are, though, that she would not be good with other small animals. 

Sunny is microchipped, fully vaccinated, and spayed. 

SeonHee means "good girl" in Korean, but we like to call her Sunny as in Sunny Delight.  Either name fits this happy dog.
